But even so, Wu Tao's body involuntarily began to curl up.
Sensing that something was wrong, he began to continuously propel the spiritual energy within his body, trying his best to withstand the increasingly powerful pressure.
After all, as time went on, the pressure grew stronger. It was simply unrealistic to resist it with his meager spiritual energy.
This time, You Meng did not cause trouble for Wu Tao again. She knew what kind of moment it was and silently activated her Dream Domain, allowing Wu Tao to continue forward.
With You Meng's help, the pressure lessened considerably. Wu Tao continued to fly forward, stopping and starting. It took him a full day and night to truly reach the outside.
At this point, Wu Tao's clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
As for the situation outside, Wu Tao could only heave a sigh of resignation after a single glance at the tower body covered in countless twelve-colored runes. He let out a long roar towards the sky and cursed loudly.
"Damn it all!"
...
Wu Tao stood still, hesitated for a moment, then charged directly towards the tower body filled with countless twelve-colored runes.
...
To Wu Tao's surprise, after his entire body merged into the twelve-colored rune tower body, he was not repelled.
There seemed to be a powerful suction force within the twelve-colored rune tower body. Wu Tao felt the ground shake violently, and in the next second, he was pulled into the twelve-colored rune tower body. The immense suction force prevented Wu Tao from taking any protective measures.
Therefore, Wu Tao was inevitably thrown onto the ground, looking quite disheveled.
Wu Tao, who had managed to stand up, glanced around. The sight shocked him.
He saw countless twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors. This immediately reminded him of the tomb of the Supreme Blood King.
Even more terrifying, the eyes of these twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors were all open, and at this moment, every single one of them was staring at Wu Tao.
...
In Wu Tao's sea of consciousness, You Meng said, "Damn it, Tao Tao, it seems we're really doomed this time."
Wu Tao snorted and replied, "Just shut up. If you can't say anything useful, then scram. This is not the time for your sarcastic remarks."
Hearing this, You Meng leaped about in Wu Tao's sea of consciousness, clearly quite angry.
In the cultivation world, all intelligent races enjoyed crafting puppets. The reason they liked crafting puppets was because puppets were loyal, fearless of death, and would never betray their masters.
Every member of intelligent races was very clever, and it was precisely this cleverness that gave birth to the concept of betrayal.
At this moment, Wu Tao felt as if heaven was playing a colossal joke on him. The thousands upon thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors surrounding him made him feel as though he had instantly fallen into the netherworld or hades.
A strong sense of crisis made Wu Tao's hair stand on end. Just as his hair stood on end, a scene that filled him with extreme tension unfolded.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...
The synchronized sound of drawing swords and sabers, like thunder, echoed. Thousands upon thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors charged forward, their sharp killing intent as tangible as substance!
"Kill!"
The afterimages of blades and swords were dense. Facing thousands upon thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, Wu Tao could only fight with all his might. Fortunately, with the blessing of You Meng's Dream Domain, Wu Tao was able to persevere.
It was as if each of the thousands upon thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors possessed intelligence.
They formed a battle formation that allowed for free movement, and the glint of countless blades and swords emanated from them, sharp and chilling!
Wu Tao wielded his Chuxi Sword and unleashed "Third-Rank Divine Ability – Star River Torrent." With a sweep of the azure starlight, "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
A barrage of explosions erupted. A single sword strike sent dozens of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors flying, but in the next second, dozens more from the perimeter filled their place.
With an ebb and flow, the number of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors surrounding Wu Tao remained constant.
These thousands upon thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, like an assembly line, attacked Wu Tao in a cross-phased manner.
"Why are these puppets so strange? They can actually recover on their own after being injured? They're practically indistinguishable from normal intelligent beings..."
Wu Tao's brow furrowed slightly. The dozens of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors he had sent flying earlier were still able to move freely around the perimeter, clearly not seriously injured.
This was not surprising. Although Wu Tao had used his divine abilities, the damage, when spread across dozens of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, was naturally minimal.
However, Wu Tao, having spent so many years in the cultivation world, had never encountered such a situation. Puppets that could recover on their own after being injured sent a jolt of apprehension through Wu Tao's heart.
As Wu Tao continued to fight these twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, he caught a glimpse of the dozens of them he had sent flying earlier. Their injuries had miraculously healed, as if they had never been hurt at all.
Subsequently, Wu Tao continuously used his divine abilities, sending approximately several hundred twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors flying.
However, before he could even catch his breath, the next wave of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, working together, launched a combined attack on Wu Tao.
These twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors were all in peak condition, but Wu Tao was not. His spiritual energy was running low.
Even with the blessing of You Meng's Dream Domain, no matter how strong Wu Tao was, he could not unleash powerful attacks without spiritual energy, nor could he fight without respite.
Wu Tao had barely taken a second to breathe when dozens of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors attacked again with full force. He had no choice but to raise his Chuxi Sword to meet them.
The Chuxi Sword clashed with dozens of blades and swords, and the sound of the sword's hum was incessant. Wu Tao himself was sent flying backward.
Behind him, the wind from the blades and swords howled. Without looking, Wu Tao knew that dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of blades and swords were aimed at him from behind.
In front of him, hundreds of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, wielding swords and sabers, also charged towards Wu Tao.
Blades and swords before, blades and swords behind, a sky full of blade and sword shadows, coming from all directions!
This time, Wu Tao didn't even have a moment to catch his breath!
Even if Wu Tao's Chuxi Sword was incredibly fast, it was, at most, the speed of one person and one sword. How could it compare to the terrifying power of hundreds or thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors attacking simultaneously with their blades and swords?
The dense blades and swords were on the left, on the right, above, and below. Everywhere was filled with blades and swords!
Although each of these blade and sword shadows in Wu Tao's eyes was not particularly strong, he was overwhelmed and couldn't block them all.
The power of the battle formation changed in an instant. Wu Tao hesitated for a moment, and those blades and swords were upon him!
Wu Tao had no choice but to act decisively.
"Third-Rank Divine Ability – Indestructible Golden Body Manifestation." With this, Wu Tao transformed into a golden giant.
Entwined by the power of dreams, Wu Tao charged headlong, rampaging through tens of thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, sending hundreds, even thousands, of them flying in one go.
Infuriated by the relentless attacks from the twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors, Wu Tao, after this outburst, gradually regained his composure.
Having regained his composure, Wu Tao keenly realized that his body could no longer endure. Just as he was worrying, You Meng spoke a sentence in his sea of consciousness.
Wu Tao's eyes suddenly lit up. He opened his Nightmare Eyes, and a purple lightning bolt appeared out of nowhere, streaking across the sky and illuminating the vicinity in a purple hue!
This purple lightning bolt let out a deafening roar that echoed throughout the tower, causing hundreds and thousands of twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors to tremble violently!
This purple lightning bolt struck the Chuxi Sword that Wu Tao held raised above his head.
And the sentence You Meng spoke in his sea of consciousness was to borrow power, to borrow the power of the world itself!
"The spiritual energy that a person's body can store is ultimately limited, but the power within the world is infinite. If one can borrow the power of the world, it is naturally terrifying."
This sword strike, combined with the purple lightning generated by absorbing the surrounding power, was like a heavenly tribulation descending, striking directly down!
For a moment, the tower body shook violently, as if responding to this heaven-defying strike. A torrent of sword energy, vast and mighty, swept through the tower, giving one the illusion that the heavens were about to shatter!
After this strike, the twelve-colored Terracotta Warriors could no longer form their formation. Wu Tao directly transformed into a streak of light, breaking through the encirclement and heading further forward.
...
After flying for half an hour, Wu Tao arrived before a restricted formation. He looked at the restricted formation before him.
Wu Tao sighed faintly, his face as dark as ink.
Wu Tao stood before this restricted formation and observed it for a long time before he could find some of its fundamental principles.
This restricted formation was too powerful. Finding a flaw within it was almost impossible due to the sheer number of runes.
The difficulty was immense. If Wu Tao hadn't possessed his Nightmare Eyes, he might have truly fallen victim to it.
With his Nightmare Eyes fully open, Wu Tao muttered curses at You Meng, "Who set up this restricted formation? It's so insidious. Damn it, the formations that kill enemies are hidden, and only the illusion formations are left in plain sight..."
"If someone couldn't see this and thought it was just an illusion formation, they would have charged in without any reservations, and their fate would have been utter annihilation."
At this moment, standing before this restricted formation, Wu Tao patted his spiritual beast pouch and threw a treasure-hunting mouse into it.
